What do you do
at the Pumpkin Walk?

Hundreds of people of all ages
come to walk along Bainbridge
Gardens’ historic Nature Trail,
glowing with a grand display of nearly 300 lighted, carved pumpkins. For
many families, the Pumpkin Walk has become a Halloween tradition.
Kids enjoy winding through our
Harvest Hay Maze and jumping in
the inflatable Bounce House.
You can have your picture taken
with the “Great Pumpkin” (he gives out candy too!) or tap your toes to live music from "Kitsap Konnection"
The Bainbridge Island Boys and Girls Club provides face painting and
carnival games with prizes.
Food and beverages are available for
purchase from the New Rose Café.

Who carves
all those pumpkins?

We invite and encourage
you to
bring in a carved pumpkin for the Pumpkin Walk. We have pumpkins and carving
tools for purchase at Bainbridge Gardens When you bring in
your finished
creation, you will receive a small prize for participating. Completed pumpkins
need to be dropped off at Bainbridge Gardens
by Friday afternoon, October 17th.
We’ll provide candles.
